This is one of the best live performance in mtv history in world history been listening to this since i heard it on mtv as a kid im 32 now still as good seal is so good it is insane
This video will always be my reference point as to why Seal is great. Wrote the lyrics and music, sang it great AND played a right-handed guitar upside-down. Give this man his due respect.
Son...playing a guitar as a left-handed player isn't any harder than right-handers playing a guitar. Seal is awsome. This is a great acoustic performance. But don't over-reach. Lots of left-handed people play guitar.
You're totally right. He's playing chords upside down. But that's not any harder than playing guitar right-handed, or rightside-up Whatever way you learn chords becomes automatic for you, Many of us play guitar and also mandolin. The chording and thinking is very different for the two instruments, but it's just a matter of repetition to master both. Same for left-handed guitarists, whether they play right-side up or upside-down! @@counciousstream
What is absolutely amazing is that Seal is playing a right-handed guitar, held upside down so he can play it left-handed, AND he's learned to play chords totally inverted. . . . . .that takes time, patience and talent!!!!
Hirath Ghori You'll notice that his backing Guitar player plays like that also. I'm a lefty Bassist and tried that years ago. Felt too unnatural so I played a re-strung righty til I got a proper Lefty.
Megadeth6633 Who's Will, is he a friend of yours? lol!!! Seriously though, I think I had the will but I just did not like the feel of it, whereas the standard feel felt more natural, so I stuck to it. Sure it limited my choice of Basses, but why suffer for your Art :-D... also with Guys like Paul McCartney and a few others releasing albums at the time, I knew I wasn't alone, so that helped I think.
Every time I look at that dude, I know that's exactly how I look when my buddy and I are playing guitar. We make fun of each other's faces when we're feeling it a bit too much.
The unplugged phenomenon was excellent, and caught so many great performances, there’s a nuanced feeling that’s totally missing today.. it’s most likely the inverse of technology, it gives, and it takes.
Remember the first time I heard Seal. What an iconic talent. First Heard "Kiss from a Rose" album front to back. Don't think people appreciated him, Phoebe Snow, Maria Muldaur, Valerie Carter like they should have. Keep this music alive for future generations.
Best acoustic live performance ever this is so good year after year listened to this 24 years now never gets old just better every time this is perfection
I'm left handed also. Learned to play a right handed guitar upside down because I couldn't afford a left handed one. I improvised .it can be done.⛵ left handed people are very creative and versatile. 🙂
I'm 27 now and have been loving and listening to Seal since I was 5 years old. My big sister is 12 years older than me so since she's been 17 she has been exposing me to Seal as she was and still is a huge fan. I always thought his scars were beautiful and never understood why some people thought they were so ugly. never understood why ppl make fun of things people can't help but I always thought he was very handsome even when I was little. So happy an artist like him excist! fan4life
This very gifted black guy can sing. He gives me goosebumps. Loved him on top of the pops. AAAAnd I swore that it was this lovely fine. guy on the mask singer. This tall guy can absolutely sing. Crazy is my favourite record from 1991. 1992 a black beauty came out with .... Sleeping satellite. I say no more.
Talented and crazy.....'They' say there's a thin line between madness and genius. This acoustic performance is pure genius. 'I see you my friend, and touch your face again'. I was sent this song by a dear friend,but he lives 5000 miles away.Can't ever touch his face,but I can envoke memories with this song. Makes it all the more beautiful,and I wouldn't have thought that possible... Love the bass players mojo too ;)
Man this takes me back to high school days rolling a fat joint and just forgetting all problems in the world just peace in my mind never thought we would have the problems the world is facing today

Anyone listening to this in 2023? Timeless songs from this man. Beautiful.
2024 here ;)
Yes this is an awesome version. I play my guitar with it. 😊
Aquí... 2024!
2024❤
Aye Sir !
The bass absolutely SLAPS in this version.
I don't care what all the 90's haters say, An acoustic version of a song is not the worst thing that can happen, this song proves it.
This is one of the best live performance in mtv history in world history been listening to this since i heard it on mtv as a kid im 32 now still as good seal is so good it is insane
90s haters said that? 🤔
💯FACTS!! Singing the acoustic version of Crazy was and will always be some of Seal's finest work ever. 🔥
90's haters are listening to 70's disco. That showd their tastes are questionable to start with.
@@LambentLark Uuuh?
The bass player is really grooving and into it … love it.
The bass player is really having a good time
+Rodrigo Santiago Motta making 'love' with the music. lol thats some kind of mojo.............................
He's in the pocket.

Ppl dis seal?
@@jayson1505 Yes, that's Seal.
Son...playing a guitar as a left-handed player isn't any harder than right-handers playing a guitar.
Seal is awsome. This is a great acoustic performance.
But don't over-reach. Lots of left-handed people play guitar.
@@squirrelbutler2119 yes but he is playing it upside down not just left handed. No wonder I couldn't recognize the chords he is playing.
You're totally right.
He's playing chords upside down.
But that's not any harder than playing guitar right-handed, or rightside-up
Whatever way you learn chords becomes automatic for you,

anyone can learn to play it upside down if they have the will tbh... not saying seal isn't talented because he is.
Megadeth6633 I tried, but it felt wrong so I flipped the strings over. Each to their own.
soeffingwhat I guess you didn't have enough will :P even standard position seems very wrong when you start playing

He doesn't need musical instruments, his voice is beautiful.
I agree. He does not need music. His voice is just brilliant.
However the accompaniment is brilliant in it's own right
Seal is a superb singer!
needs to be because he ugly as fuck
@@billdowns2702 that is so effing rude. Your comment is ugly. No class at all. Shameful and disgusting. Everyone is beautiful.
That bassist is feeling it!
Every time I look at that dude, I know that's exactly how I look when my buddy and I are playing guitar. We make fun of each other's faces when we're feeling it a bit too much.
There's nothing wrong that man! That's what music is for...to put you in that euphoric mood :)
hes in the Pocket,, AS THEY SAY :)
Justin O'Connor aint he tho
lol
I never ever get tired of listening or watching Seal sing this one. Absolutely timeless material!
Seal. One of the most underrated artists in time. And by far one of the most flawless and outstanding vocalists of the modern world. Much respect.
Them words you’ve written are nearly exactly the same I would say . He is top draw ! A master of his art. Love your comments 👏🏻👍🏻
Es
Best performance i know is this
@@jacklamat6315 Have you heard the Tori Kelly cover on SiriusXM? Imo she takes it up another level.
@@JamieR yeah, I don't think anybody would agree with you

Tiny Desk Concert: "hold my beer."
Wow just wow... just discovering this in 2023. What an amazing rendition! Thanks for your artistry Seal!
With you.
You don't see that very often. Lefty player, but with the strings upside down.
Eu aqui em pleno 2023 ouvindo Seal , apaixonada por essa música que é mais velha que eu e eu nem sabia que era dele❤ voz linda suave e hipnotizante
I had this entire session on VHS years ago and it was/is an absolute masterpiece.
BETA makes it sound x10 better.
Hey do you still have it and do you know how I could find it. The guy playing bass is my boyfriend Dad. I’m trying to track it down. Thanks
A fantastic song is not bound solely to its album performance. The Nineties were the Last Great Age of Music and I stand by that.
Massively underrated artist.
he is such a beautiful man
Really? Im not seeing it.
hteasttowest can you hear it at least? damn lol
He is. And the messages he conveys through his music are also beautiful!
No no no no, that is too much...he is a great artist, but beautiful???
@@Pitxicaa Oh come on, he's gorgeous.
One of Seal's brilliantly composed and written songs ~ Oh, the 90s
Seal always sings from the soul. And for that, we adore him.
I love this song.. sounds better in acoustic verson
After 1:40 when his tone rises it is truly a gift. Magical.
Remember the first time I heard Seal. What an iconic talent. First Heard "Kiss from a Rose" album front to back. Don't think people appreciated him, Phoebe Snow, Maria Muldaur, Valerie Carter like they should have. Keep this music alive for future generations.
this man is absolute genius. Been touched by his music and passion for over 20 years. Timeless talent. Enjoy!
What a beautiful beautiful man... with an inhuman ability to warm up the soul of the coldest person.
A lot of folks don’t like seal but I can listen to this guy all day….. very unique voice!
When I need some pure bliss I turn to Seal..He's even got the looks to match...How amazing can one artist be??
Seal is a fantastic show. Unique and committed to his craft
One of those unique songs, that everybody loves, and comes along once a decade. It sounds as fresh today as it the first time I heard it.
This song will never lose that "freshness". It was a protest song in many conflicts a decade later and will likely pop-up again. Timeless.
I play guitar, and I must point out that the afro guy playing lead guitar is super talented with the strings. Great trio. Great song.
he killed it :)
A seminal moment in my existence when I first viewed the breathtaking Church Studios sessions.
Stunning.
Fukin soul man! Just made me cry....what a dude....never heard this before. Thank you sir. Much love x
God damn I miss the 90s
The best live performance of this song period and in my opinion better than the original
this song always calms my spirit
The bass player is really having a good time
The bass player is really having a good time
i never imagined seal could grow hair. there must be a glitch in the matrix.
Young children😈
Seal has been around since the 80s (first major album in 1991). This video was obviously recorded before he cut his hair :-)
I saw Seal live in 2012. He rocked the house down. Great performer.
Lucky
"We're never gonna survive waching the world gone crazy..." Seal 🙏☮️❤️☀️
this song always calms my spirit
When this song first came out in the plugged version, it was a top hit for three months in Germany. Awesome song Seal!
seriously?
Best acoustic live performance ever this is so good year after year listened to this 24 years now never gets old just better every time this is perfection
he is such a beautiful man
I never ever get tired of listening or watching Seal sing this one. Absolutely timeless material!
This song takes me to 1991 when I was very young and full of dreams and the lyrics fits in all of my entire crazy youth as well!!! Fantantic!
Still listening to this song. May 2 2022
Love Seal’s dreadlocks!❤️🥰
I'm left handed also. Learned to play a right handed guitar upside down because I couldn't afford a left handed one. I improvised .it can be done.⛵ left handed people are very creative and versatile. 🙂
i'm left handed, but just play right-handed. never tried a left-handed guitar, never held one
2 or so years on… have you ever tried to play with the strings inverted? Now there’s a challenge in itself! 😊
Never knew there was left handed guitars..... thought you just strung it upside down
Had an amazing friend years ago he played my guitar left handed with it upside down. Still blows my mind.
You could have just restrung the guitar upside down ❤
I'm 27 now and have been loving and listening to Seal since I was 5 years old.

You’ve clearly not seen Queensryche then.
Actually I havent, Thanks for sharing, I will ! Cheers !
@@Jason-me1bs
Absolutely amazing version of this song, so good the bass Player is having the time of his life!! Pure class
what an awesome recording this is always my fav version he did
I recently discovered this artist, heard it on the radio and decided to download the entire discography
I love, love this acoustic performance!
wow one of my fav songs of all time.
One of my all time favorite artist...... You must see him live !!!
One off the best acoustic version of a track I’ve ever heard . Gaffa !
O by God what voice and presence in this man's encenary I love him 😍
Talented and crazy.....'They' say there's a thin line between madness and genius.
This acoustic performance is pure genius.
'I see you my friend,
and touch your face again'.
I was sent this song by a dear friend,but he lives 5000 miles away.Can't ever touch his face,but I can envoke memories with this song.
Makes it all the more beautiful,and I wouldn't have thought that possible...
Love the bass players mojo too ;)
he is such a beautiful man
The 90s was great. What happened?
this song always calms my spirit
Seal is such a great Talent !!!
Crazy talent. And dat Bass, damn...
This is BY FAR the best rendition and it’s not available anywhere but here. How come?
Isn’t that crazy 😊
love this song in acoustic 90's classic from seal, and true we cant survive this world unless we are crazy.
First heard this in the Spike Lee film Clockers, been loving it since then. Seal’s voice just soars on this version. Perfect vocal.
That's why I'm here
This was the perfect song for that scene.
pop music today is just a shadow of its former self
i miss this era- which had the top musicians and top production anywhere. so much talent.
He doesn't need musical instruments, his voice is beautiful.
There are plenty of comments about this already. But DAT BASS !
That banjo style is such a great addition to this acoustic version. I loved this
wheres the banjo?
Its 2023 and this is still one of the prettiest surprise duets that has ever happened in history
Seal is one of the reasons we took to music and how his music just takes us back to the good old 90's
Damn , this is so good .
Seal ❤
You are one of my favourite artist.love ur songs ❤
I was right now old when i learned Seal can play guitar. What a great acoustic version.
Saw Seal on his first tour. Absolutely brilliant. This album is one of the "stranded in an island" must haves. Magnificent.
There are plenty of comments about this already. But DAT BASS !
He is not just a singer, he is a super talent singer
he has the best voice of any male singer in imo
All these years of loving this song and never understand the implications until now, come on the awakening 🍄💯😎
Man this takes me back to high school days rolling a fat joint and just forgetting all problems in the world just peace in my mind never thought we would have the problems the world is facing today
Facts smh
His expression while performing this is absolutely priceless. I love it. I love everything about this video, in fact.
I can’t stop listening to it every day now
this gave me chills… love seal.
I love every version of this song. This is certainly the best song of 1991, and maybe, of the entire decade.
Always liked this song! Great acoustic version!
Amazing! Even the bass player was memorising.
The 1st CD in my family was SEAL's 1991 album. Super song, one of the best albums 4 ever.
best version!
perfection personified, what a voice and talent~
The 90s was great. What happened?
He doesn't need musical instruments, his voice is beautiful.
That bassist is feeling it!
Seal...impeccable.
I never ever get tired of listening or watching Seal sing this one. Absolutely timeless material!
The 90s was great. What happened?
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I wish I could feel anything as deeply as this bass player is feeling this song ❤🌈
My thought exactly!!!😂
So talented so underrated.
Absolutely crazy genius in its own ❤
But we're never gonna survive, unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little crazy
His style of singing and voice is everything!
Seal is freakin awesome
Beatiful, very very nice ❤❤❤
